The first two cases can be converted into a quadratic model or a convex problem with quadratic constraints, while the third one is a nonconvex problem. In this paper, first we analyze the nonconvex problem, and reduce it to two convex problems. Then we discuss some dual properties of these problems and give an algorithm for solving them. At last, we present an algorithm for solving the new trust region subproblem with the conic model and report some numerical examples to illustrate the efficiency of the algorithm.展开更多

The trust region center locates at somewhere in the negative gradient direction with the current best iterative point being on the boundary. By doing these, the trust region subproblems are constructed at a new way different with the traditional ones. Then, we test the efficiency of the new line search and trust region algorithm on some standard benchmarking. The computational results reveal that, for most test problems, the number of function and gradient calculations are reduced significantly.展开更多

In the "nonintersecting" case of this problem, Burer and Yang(2015) have proved that its semi-definite programming relaxation with second-order-cone reformulation(SDPR-SOCR) is a tight relaxation. In the more complicated "intersecting" case, which is discussed in this paper, so far there is no result except for a counterexample for the SDPR-SOCR. We present a necessary and sufficient condition for the SDPR-SOCR to be a tight relaxation in both the "nonintersecting" and "intersecting" cases. As an application of this condition, it is verified easily that the "nonintersecting" SDPR-SOCR is a tight relaxation indeed. Furthermore, as another application of the condition, we prove that there exist at least three regions among the four regions in the trust-region ball divided by the two intersecting linear cuts, on which the SDPR-SOCR must be a tight relaxation. Finally, the results of numerical experiments show that the SDPR-SOCR can work efficiently in decreasing or even eliminating the duality gap of the nonconvex extended trust-region subproblem with two intersecting linear inequalities indeed.展开更多
